wonder what state temal is in right now... and did he really like rodney?? or was it a game??

Author's Response: I'm pretty sure Temal apreciated a good body and also strength of character which is what Rodney had despite the fact he was terrified. Temal was top dog, there for life, he would make the best of his strength while he had it.

Sweet! Glad you got back it it! :D The end seemed a tad rushed, though -- would have liked to have seen Carson discovering Rodney's situation, and a bit more aftermath. Sequel with flashbacks, maybe? *hopes*

Author's Response: I would kind of hope Carson would be a good enough doctor to realise what had been going on...although it wasn't written down Petron would have been as brutal the second time as he was the first. Carson wouldn't have missed that. Part of me wonders if there should be an epilogue of some kind *sighs* I feel I've kinda upset a lot of readers and this stoy acording to the read count has had 9978 reads which is an awfie lot of people to upset.

You kinda skipped out on the ramifications of what Rodney did which kinda sucks. I hope you won't be a coward and leave it as it is because there's a lot of potential to be explored here, hopefully in a sequel since you ended this story. Prematurely in my opinion but whatever.

yay, that was a fantastic story! glad its finished before i had to go away! two months with no computer! what am i to do?! loved it soooooooooo much, im a sucker for rodney whump/angst liked your take on temal too, any chance on doing a little scene on what happpened while john was asleep and when Carson found rodney ike that? also loved that you put the guard from the start in at the end, nice touch.

I love how you don't show us what happened to McKay that last time and the fact that you don't even give us a direct confirmation as to it did. Just McKay's deflective answer about how he's been treated by the Doc. I personlly think it gives a much greater impact.

Especially with the contrast of 'showing' us the bad time with the guard & the gentler times after, coupled with what seems to be genuine regret from Temal - it just makes us imagine/feel worse about that last brutal one we dont get to see.

From reading the other comments - I have to ask - you only meant that you weren't planning to write a sequel, not "I'm not going to write anything again". Because I really loved this fic and would look forward to reading anything else you write.

Author's Response: *smiles* I've been dabbling in slash now since Kirk was a tadpole and Spock an equasion in his father's head 1+1=3rnI honestly didn't mean it to come across that I was spitting the dummy. Its not easy to write when its not really a skill you have. Ideas are plentyful but nurturing them and making them blossom into a story is hard work and I don't always get across on paper the story thats in my head. At the moment I have no plan's to write anything else. Maybe there will be a fantastic episode in season 4 that will rekindle the little flame.rnAnyway...thanks so much for the kind words I really appreciate them...thank you for taking time out of your life to read a little story created by me :) ~Hrn..rn

Author's Response: Sorry you thought so ... all I can say to yourself and anyone else that thinks there should be a different ending is please feel free to write your own. I don't see myself as owning that story. It was just a little pastime. And I posted it here after discussing it with my friend. I would love to read what happened next...I just don't have the energy to write what happened next. The story in my head was their time IN prison and in that little time a lot happened. I am really sorry you are so disappointed on a lighter note I'm not planing on writing anything else so at least the same mistake won't happen again. ~H
